What is the purpose of religion if not internal harmony with God and creation?
The presence of joy is at least a good indicator of the absence of cognitive dissonance and existential angst.
Internal harmony...with what's actually..well, internal..perhaps?
How about a coping mechanism?
A license to print money?
Justification for adventurism and plunder?
The stultifying mores referred to in a deeply conservative social engineering project?
But, hey, if the only purpose of religion is to please the pixies.........then I guess the rest of that is just a bonus.
